My bet is that Loki is going to put up a show but will be bricked VERY hard at the end. If Shanks and/or Luffy doesn't show up later on to help him he's dead.
Welcome to the late modern era, I am sure that people no longer create nowadays, they just go #DSPRecap style.
I think Imu has health issues and will withdraw without killing key characters but while being clearly stronger than everyone. But my potential twist is that he dies here and Blackbeard is the final boss. The final boss of the pirate manga being the most famous pirate really appeals to me.
I don’t think Imu will die here. He’s too connected to the endgame and a lot of the questions that still need to be answered. Though I do think Blackbeard will try and make a power move , and that’ll set up the real clash between him and Luffy.
lol absolutely not and I agree because every time we see Blackbeard he is doing something deliberate behind the scenes of whatever is happening in the current arc. He's definitely been planning on the side.
Loki ain't living through this after a panel this badass.
Presumably he's got some plans for Moira's fruit given what the prior owner was using it for.
From what I saw, I believe it’s the symbol of the contract bonds with Imu.
because kaguya is now in one piece
Imu is Kaguya in this case?
yes
I suppose you could say that Oda shows Kishimoto how Kaguya should have been done.
Hey now Kaguya was better than Obito and Madara..
That is a stupid theory. The idea that the big bad is an alien probably is inspired by DBZ. Both went for a far different approach. Why would Oda make a pact like that with Kishi anyway? They are friends but why?
The last part of Naruto was weird. I have no better way to describe it. The idea that Kishimoto had no idea on how to defeat Madara makes sense though. He had him not use most of the path abilities and got him killed by Zetsu of all things.
It's a joke dude, Christ.
Ivankov did say that Imu was from the old days and got the life operation from Law’s devil fruit. And I guess all that’s left is to confirm that.
It’s probably going to be a win for Imu or a stalemate, since the idea is to show what kind of threat Imu is, and probably to show the full power of Loki. And then we’ll get some stuff about the state of Elbaf as the state of the world and that should end the arc. As for “nullify Luffy”, I’m not sure if we get that since 1. That’s too connected to the endgame and Oda probably doesn’t want to reveal too much too soon, and 2. I think Imu will fuck off after fighting Loki since that’d deal with the Elbaf threat in Imu’s mind. Also, Luffy is still out of energy so any big things surrounding the lore can be explored since Luffy doesn’t know or care about those things and will only go after Imu once Imu captures Vivi (probably).
